The earliest book devoted to an Amerindian language printed in English was also the first book published by Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island!. Dictionaries, vocabularies, grammars, and religious works had already been produced for the native languages of Spanish America and New France, but this was the first such book generated in the British colonies!.
The phrasebook is comprehensive in its treatment of Narragansett Indian life!. Williams attempted to cover everything from the essentials of food, clothing, and shelter to customs, government, religion, commerce, and natural history!. The author observes in the section on travel that the Narragansetts "are joyfull in meeting of any in travell, and will strike fire either with stones or sticks, to take Tobacco, and discourse a little together!."
